I loved this blog that Susan tweeted: http://www.edutopia.org/blog/teaching-tech-older-adults-daphne-bradford about 10th and 11th graders from Crenshaw High in LA teaching older adults about technology. This is a great example of the value of Twitter and of blogs....the teacher who came up with this innovation blogged about it, including step by step instructions of how to replicate what she did. Then, of course, I would never have seen the blog if Susan hadn't tweeted it. Very cool.
As for the content of the blog post, this inter-generational interaction is so needed on so many levels! Especially in terms of the relationships that can develop between students and adults. The students are the teachers here--but I am sure they ended up learning a lot from the adult mentors as well.
